Cattle Empire of the Plains Described in Local Ranch Notes
The Spirit of Meek Times outlines Iliff as a cattle king with a 140 mile range and 26,000 head, detailing Tug tanth in northern Colorado, the South Platte boundary, and key ranches near Sidney, Julesburg, and Greeley. It notes Mr Diff and Mr Muttgins owning vast tracts, branding, watering facilities, and a season’s work with up to thirty men, plus the 1873 ship season and 1875 hay costs, concluding cattle raising is profitable with skill and capital.

Grass and cattle breeding for western farms
A Western Rural piece argues for improving cattle by infusing superior breeds as the old system wanes, noting grass and grain as soil stabilizers. Kentucky blue grass and durable pasture quality are praised, with emphasis on early spring sowing, fall regrowth, and year-round forage to sustain stock and fertility.
Milking Trials and Lectures in Period Notes
A 19th century farmer documents a six week milking trial of a high producing cow named Little Phin, noting daily yields around forty quarts and eventual dry periods. The piece also mentions local lectures and editorials on agricultural topics, urging readers to attend a talk by a controversial lecturer and endorsing practical pasture improvement advice from American Cultivator.
